Form & Verdict

Is 0-5, beaten similar distances in last two handicaps, including over this C&D; a bit short of room when beaten 6l on latest at the Curragh (1m, good) when not far behind a couple of today's rivals; could outrun his odds if handling this softer ground.

Modest Flat maiden and no sign of winning potential in first two starts over hurdles; new yard now; look elsewhere.

9st 5lb

The pick of her form is a fourth in a Gowran handicap from a 13lb higher mark in June last year; her runs since then have been poor and she was last seen finishing a 32l ninth of 11 at Clonmel in May; cheeckpieces go on but they need to spark huge improvement.

Form & Verdict

Four-time winner, twice on soft ground; 14lb below last winning mark; mostly out of form this season but showed a glimmer at Punchestown last month; very well-handicapped but drawn wide and has run poorly on all three previous visits to this track; others preferred.

Second runner for yard; 0-6 on the Flat but did shape with a bit of promise last time at Thurles; softer ground could help and her yard does well here so not fully discounted from a nice draw.

Form & Verdict

Dundalk winner in March is 0-3 on turf; well-beaten on his last two starts at Limerick on quick ground; hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces and soft ground making a difference; probably best watched for now.
